[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1477002, member: 67706"] That might be pushing really hard to get 2950 with the 24" barrel. At 3030fps I'm right at the top end and you would need a really long throat to get some more capacity so at least have it throated for the 170. I'll have to find my notes but I think I completely topped out over 3100. On another note Rich and I made it out this morning (after a hectic start, Rich's story) to do some shooting. I had enough time to load up a couple rounds for the 270 Sherman. It turned out way better than expected for the distance. Forgot to hold spin drift and calculate the extra drop from the deflection and put me .5 moa low and 1.5 moa right. Instead of measuring with reticle I just guessed and raised 1 moa and held the windage. The next shot landed good for wind and high. Last shot landed on the rock (approx. .8 moa tall x 1.5 wide). 1832 yards. Not much energy left at that point and almost subsonic but not quite. Still makes for a fun time!!! So many decisions on which rifle to take for my awesome elk tag I drew this year but this is a solid contender! [/QUOTE]
